Walnart gets a Twitter Boost from Theo Paphitis A Seaford based crafter has received a business boost from Retail Entrepreneur Theo Paphitis. Last week, Ginette McGee, owner of Walnart, tweeted Theo her business during ‘Small Business Sunday’ and was one of six weekly winners to gain a retweet by Theo to his near half a million Twitter followers. The weekly initiative, set up by Theo in 2010, now has over 3,000 #SBS winners and supports small businesses in the UK. Business and retail entrepreneur and self-confessed Shopkeeper, Theo re-tweeted Ginette’s message to his almost 500,000 followers and as a result, Walnart has hundreds more followers and extra orders for their Walnart decorations and gifts. They are also profiled on

the #SBS website (www.theopaphitissbs.com) that is exclusive to all Small Business Sunday winners. Ginette said, ‘I’m completely blown away at being chosen as an #SBS winner, and the lovely messages I’ve received. I intend to make the most of the opportunities #SBS provides to grow my miniature business.’ Walnart is a collection of miniature decorations and gifts made using real walnut shells, and can be found at www.walnart.co.uk. Small business champion and Ryman Stationery, Robert Dyas and Boux Avenue Chairman, Theo Paphitis, said: ‘We are thrilled to welcome new #SBS members every week and highlight just how important it is to support our small businesses here in the UK. My vision is that everyone who has ever won an #SBS re-tweet from me becomes part of a friendly club; like-minded individuals who can share successes and learnings. The website will also give a valuable profile to the winners chosen and I wish Walnart every success.’ Anyone looking for a re-tweet from Theo should tweet him about their business on Sunday between 5pm and 7.30pm and include the hashtag #SBS. Six lucky businesses are re-tweeted every Monday at 8pm and then invited to enter their profile on the new website, attend the annual #SBS networking event and take advantage of the networking opportunities.
